Outstanding for visitors and transplants alike! - Absolutely outstanding tour with Rob, eating the city. We live in the area but took the chance to have a different look at Manchester with Canadian family visiting. We got a fantastic taste of the history of Manchester with some beautiful food along the way. Really great experience despite the authentic Manchester weather. Would strongly recommend!

Great way to see the city and learn about the culture. - This was my first walking tour like this and it set a very high bar. Rob was an excellent guide—very personable, knowledgeable, and fun to hang out with. We learned so much about the city’s history and ate some great food—stuff I probably wouldn’t have ordered on a menu so glad Rob exposed us to some great traditional food. The other guests were also great with lots of interesting side conversations along the way. Definitely a highlight of my trip to the UK.

Delicious and funny...what more can you ask for? - We booked the tour as a team building outing and as a way to see some of Manchester. I wasn't expecting so many amazing pit stops for delicious food. I tried two things I've never had before (I won't ruin the surprise by telling you what!) and became a total convert. Rob is a mine of information and has a wickedly dry sense of humour. He was able to answer any of our questions and was very accommodating when we had a last minute food choice change. I'd recommend anyone to take this tour (just don't fill up too much on your hotel breakfast...you need some serious space to taste everything!). Thanks Rob!

A great day out, even if you're local! - I bought tickets to the tour for my friend's birthday and we had a great time. We're Manchester-based but still went to some places we hadn't been to yet and all the food was excellent. Our group was a nice bunch and Rob was an fab guide - an ideal mix of laid back, informative and friendly!
